Hello & welcome! Whilst I paint, I’m sharing ways I use rules and briefs in my painting practice to help navigate focus and creative block. In this session, I work both inside and outside, over two days to create a new number of paintings on paper.
I headed outside for a plein-air session with fellow painter Emily Morey - check out their work here: emilymorey.com/?page_id=1630
Check out the video intro to this series of work, where I share the influences and goals for this project: www.orlastevens.com/findingna...
If you happen to be based in the UK, I am running two in-person outdoor drawing workshops in August 2023. Full workshop info & tickets here: www.orlastevens.com/workshops
